Do Your Own Numerology Reading

You are highly sensitive and very impressionable. You possess great awareness and can sense
the feelings of others, even when they try to hide their inner thoughts. Consequently, you
are easily influenced by your environment. You are highly emotional as well, which makes
you all the more subject to the changing winds within your surroundings. All of this creates
a great need to develop and maintain your own center. Once you have accomplished this task,
life will become more manageable and less threatening.

You are especially moved by beauty, harmony, and love. You give affection and need much
in return. You especially need physical affection, that is, plenty of hugs and warmth. You
like to spend time with family and friends. You are a cooperative partner and hate to be
alone. Your talent lies in your keen insight and your willingness act as an advisor to those
who are able to wield power. You operate best as "the power behind the throne".

You are less an initiator than one who sees a project through to completion. You are good
with details, not much escapes your attention. You are modest, diplomatic and polite. You
have the ability to persuade others to your point of view by using gentle means. You are
brilliant at making others think they are brilliant.

Your high sensitivity makes you aware of other peoples feelings. You also act considerately.
You must develop the ability to truly see how necessary you are to the success of any enterprise
you enter. You are the glue that binds projects together. Speak up for yourself when necessary,
but learn to quietly go about your business, confident in the fact that you are fundamental
to any success.

What is the philosophy behind numerology?

The fundamental premise of numerology is that life, and the universe as a whole is an orderly
system, and that numbers reflect that orderliness. Numbers are by definition orderly.
When we confront the question of numerology, we are facing the same dilemma that we all face with
the larger questions of life: Is there meaning and order to life, or is it purely a random and
chaotic universe?
There are three possible answers to this question: the universe is ruled by randomness and chaos;
the universe is infinitely orderly; or both randomness and orderliness exist.
Randomness is a state in which there is no order or larger meaning. Such a state of affairs would
mean that the universe is ruled by chance events, and there are no orderly laws governing the universe.
In fact, we know this premise to be untrue, since the natural sciences, such as physics, mathematics;
biology, chemistry, and astronomy are all based on the orderliness, even predictability, of natural
law. Moreover, if the universe were ruled by unpredictable events, there would be no sustainable
structure to it. On the contrary, the universe not only maintains form and structure, it also changes
in precise and orderly ways.
We are continually witnesses to this process of change: Day turns into night, and night turns into
day; winter is followed by spring, and summer is followed by fall; and apples grow on apple trees,
and figs grow on fig trees, and they never, ever, get confused.
Orderliness can be seen in every aspect of existence, from the subatomic world to the world of
stars and galaxies. Therefore, we can cancel the first possibility to our original question: There
is, at the very least, some orderliness.
But is it all orderly? When we look at the very basics of life—the world of deoxyribonucleic
acid (DNA), the molecular world, and the developing child—we see an awesome sequence unfolding.
DNA is of such profound orderliness that it has been the template for producing literally billions
upon billions of human beings with the same universal characteristics, two eyes, ten fingers, ten
toes, et cetera. That no two sets of eyes are alike only shows the remarkable creativity and energy
that are contained within this DNA molecule.
The gestation and birth of a child are also examples of remarkable orderliness: It still takes
egg and sperm to produce an ovum, and nine months for a child to fully develop and to be born.
The growth pattern of humans has remained essentially the same too: We are born very young, and
grow through adolescence, puberty, adulthood, maturity, and old age, at which point we die. The
arc of life is consistent and stable. This has been happening for about 2 million years, the length
of time humans have inhabited the planet.
If we look up at the stars and see the planets, we see a further example of great orderliness.
In creation, there is no randomness, a fact that is the basis for all physical sciences.
Yet, all of us experience events that we perceive as arbitrary or random. How can we reconcile
the awareness that beneath our feet and above our heads—indeed, our very bodies—are
the products of profound orderliness, while our lives seem permeated by random events of which
we can make no sense?
We seem forced to say that, at first glance, both order and randomness exist simultaneously. But
wait—doesn’t our perception of how much order there is in the universe constantly grow
as we learn more? For example, only three decades ago, heart disease and cancer were regarded by
most of us as random and terrible events in life. Today we believe that these illnesses are of
the result of our daily behavior and eating pattern. Both illnesses have very logical etiologies.
Consequently, they are the products of order. The illnesses have not changed; only our understanding
of them has.
Many examples of so-called “natural disasters,” such as famine, drought, and mud-slides,
are often perceived as random events. It is only later that the cause is usually discovered to
be mankind’s ignorance. Specifically, we have not had (and still don’t have) a perspective
large enough to understand all the variables that come into play when we begin to tamper with the
underlying orderliness.
The point here is that our perception of what is random keeps changing as we learn more. Meanwhile,
our appreciation of an underlying order was always implicit in these events that were previously
regarded as random; we simply didn’t see the order.
Our growing understanding of order also changes the way we experience space and time. We all have
had experiences that we cannot explain that fall in to the category of synchronicity or extrasensory
perception. These experiences violate our normal perception of space and time. We think of these
things as out-of-the-ordinary, but they are really glimpses of the underlying order that our rational
minds cannot comprehend, and that we perhaps were not designed to understand.
Nevertheless, this underlying order, which can only be fully appreciated intuitively, is being
proven by our most advanced science, quantum physics.
As quantum physicist Fritjof Capra points out in his book The Tao of Physics, scientists have now
discovered a universal unity among all phenomena. And quantum physicist Niels Bohr emphasized that
the main consequence of these theories is that we cannot separate any part of the material universe
from the rest without making an error. The new vision of reality is a spiritual vision in its very
essence.
Progress for the human spirit, as I’ve come to see it, is an elevation of consciousness to
where the individual becomes fully aware of being an integral part of the cosmos as a whole, and
of its maker. This mode of consciousness is much, much broader than anything that could possibly
develop from a rational thought process. Contrary to the knowledge of the mind, this understanding
is rooted in seeing, recognizing, and realizing at a much deeper level. It typically occurs in
meditative experiences, but it can also occur in many other settings.
However, science is trying to reach that kind of understanding. As Capra indicated, quantum mechanics
is demonstrating that the fundamental reality of the universe—while not immediately apparent
to our rational minds—is a vast unity in which all things are related.
In ancient times, this understanding formed the basis for all natural and spiritual sciences. In
fact, natural science was merely the tool that was used to discover the underlying orderliness
of the universe, otherwise known as God. Out of this consciousness came such spiritual sciences
as numerology. Numerology is based upon this underlying unity, a unity that manifests itself in
a very intimate way in all of our lives. Our names and dates of birth, for example, are connected
with our deepest inner being in a way that the rational mind cannot immediately understand. The
intuitive mind, however, is capable of perceiving these relationships, and of interpreting them
to help us better understand our lives.
The act of giving something a name is not a superficial or intellectual effort, but a reflection
of our deep experience of the essence of the thing we are naming. It comes out of our connection,
or our intuitive feeling of that thing.
For example, the word storm, with its special combination of vowels and consonants, gives us a
feeling of the movement and power of an invisible force. Storm. Say it and you will feel it.
Another example is the word power, which names something, but at the same time gives the experience
of the thing we are naming: Power! The biting movement of the jaw makes us feel it.
The word love embraces us gently. It gives you the experience of its meaning.
Every word, in every language, perfectly reflects the feeling and spirit of the thing that is named
by the people who use that language. Some will argue that the words used to name things were originally
chosen arbitrarily, and then were integrated into our inner feelings. However, our understanding
of sound comes from an archetypal and unconscious part of our being. It is intimately connected
with our appreciation of music; no matter whether you are tone deaf or have perfect pitch, all
of us have an inborn capacity to discern music from chaotic noise. Music is harmony. And music
is inside of us.
Nature too, is filled with events that have trained us to associate certain qualities with sounds:
The clap of thunder, the woosh of a river, or the whir of a bird in flight.
From our innate understanding of music and harmony comes the act of naming things according to
our perception of their inner natures. This intuitive act is the source of our language. All languages
emerge from, and represent the natures of the people who use them.
All of this points to a single and incredibly important fact: Sound and time are both rooted in
harmony and universal order.
This is the source of numerology. The numerologist maintains that each of us carries the perfect
name that reflects our inner nature or being. That name is a collection of sounds, a melody that
in a very deep and perfect way is you.
